Schnell & Steiner GmbH, Verlag Latin American Integration and Rule of Law
Book SynopsisThis book conceptually develops the condition of rule of law within a framework of continental integration. It then analyzes the European Economic Community as a case of economic integration with rule of law. This contrasts with the North American experience of free–trade integration with rule of law, which was joined by Mexico. The Latin American cases of trade integration without rule of law are reviewed as failed attempts. The study furthermore analyzes the current European Union as a case of integration including politics and rule of law, and its current challenges. The book ends with a new approach to Latin American integration, starting from energy integration and other infrastructure projects.

Brill The 1982 Law of the Sea Convention and the
Book SynopsisThere are various environmental and legal challenges arising from offshore renewable energy activities which were not foreseen at the time of the negotiation of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This book explores how UNCLOS has evolved to adapt to these new challenges through legal mechanisms and examines what gaps may remain and how they should be filled. The book highlights the process of normative reinforcement in the regulation of offshore renewable energy activities whilst maintaining the fundamental balance of interests between the coastal State and other States.Table of ContentsForeword 1 Introduction 1 The Growing Interest in Offshore Renewable Energy Activities 2 Sources of Offshore Renewable Energy 2.1 Wind Energy 2.1.1 Structure of Wind

Brill World Trade, Child Labour and Transnational
Book SynopsisThe Open Access publication of this book has been made possible by the Swiss National Science Foundation. Is the current structure of international law still adequate to solve global problems such as child labour? This book argues for more coherence between human rights and trade law, analysing the world trade law compatibility of topical trade measures on (forced) child labour such as the US Tariff Act of 1930 or the proposal for an EU Forced Labour Regulation, mainly under the GATT non-discrimination principles and the policy exceptions clause. Discussing theories such as constitutionalism and pluralism, Franziska Humbert develops the idea of a New Legal Humanism as a cognitive frame for the global legal order.Table of ContentsForeword Preface Acknowledgements List of Abbreviations Introduction 1 Globalization, Child Labour and the International Legal Order 2 Contents 1 The Problem of Child Labour and Trade 1 Introduction 2 The International Dimension of Child Labour 2.1 Child Labour as a Global Problem 2.2 The Protection from Exploitative Child Labour as Ius Cogens 3 The Need for Global Solutions Including Trade Measures 2 The Status Quo of Trade Measures on Child Labour in WTO Law 1 Introduction 1.1 Unilateral Trade Measures 1.2 Defining PPM s and Rules of Interpretation 2 The Rationale of the WTO and the GATT 1994 3 Trade Measures Concerning Child Labour under the Most-Favoured-Nation Clause of GATT Article I 3.1 Most-Favoured-Nation Obligations 3.2 The Relationship with the TBT Agreement 3.3 The Scope of GATT Article I:1 3.4 Like Products 3.5 Any Advantage 3.6 Immediately and Unconditionally 3.7 Exceptions under the Enabling Clause 3.8 Conclusion 4 Compatibility of Trade Measures on Child Labour with GATT Art.

Peeters Publishers A Philosophy of European Union Law
Book SynopsisIs the European Union a new Walden? Although a contrast in form and format, the Union is surprisingly close to the latter's underlying philosophy. One can read this proximity in the Treaties or the many facets of the European idea which mirrors in the Union's emerging legal system. Today there is no longer a Union of a limited number of Nation States desiring to end divisions among themselves, to acquire mutual respect and prosperity or a higher standard of living and working conditions for its members. European citizenship shows a global orientation and is in continuous competition with the discourse of a globalizing economy and its Internet democracy. Analyses of concepts such as political geography, global, (supra)national and regional citizenship, democracy, learning society, native tongue and market lead to the insight that the Union's legal system wishes to ensure its citizens a legally engendered, formatted and protected global position for action. Walden's philosophy has a new face. Jan M. Broekman is Professor Emeritus Contemporary Philosophy and Philosophy of Law, KU Leuven, Philosophy of Medicine and Medical Ethics, Free University Amsterdam, and Honorary Professor Universidad Nacional de Argentina in Mar del Plata. He is visiting Professor of Law at the University of Illinois College of Law, Champaign/Urbana, USA.

MD - Duke University Press The Case for Palestine
Book SynopsisA history of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians from the perspective of international law that examines the extent to which legitimate interests remain to be fulfilled.Trade Review“In this new edition of his classic Palestine and Israel, John Quigley succinctly yet thoroughly covers developments since the first Gulf War of 1991. He shows that by excluding the United Nations and insisting on bilateral peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, Washington diluted the principles of international law—to the ultimate detriment of the parties themselves and of the international community as a whole.”—Richard H. Curtiss, executive editor, Washington Report on Middle East Affairs“This masterful book comes at a most critical time in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and of American foreign policy towards the Middle East. It sets forth essential information on the international legal and human rights principles applicable to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and their relevance to the production of a comprehensive Middle East peace settlement between Israel and Palestine as well as between Israel and the surrounding Arab States. Indeed, there is no way anyone can even begin to comprehend the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and how to resolve it without developing a basic working knowledge of the principles of international law and human rights related thereto. By the end of this book, the reader should be in an excellent position to go out and work for peace with justice for all peoples and states in the Middle East.”—Professor Francis A. Boyle, legal adviser to the Palestinian delegation to the Middle East peace negotiations (1991–93) and to the Syrian delegation during the first round of the Middle East peace negotiations (1991)"The Case for Palestine is a concise, well written book with invaluable summary of historical background for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. John Quigley’s dispassionate analysis and presentation of unbiased historical facts from credible sources overwhelmingly serves to educate and inform any reader. . . . [It] should be considered a must read for all those interested in a comprehensive overview of the legal issues surrounding this conflict and for all those interested in bringing about a long-lasting, durable peace and justice in the holy land." -- Ghaleb Darabya * International Third World Studies Journal and Review *"One of the best book-length summaries currently available of the historical case for the establishment of an independent and viable Palestinian state. As a primer on what Palestinians understand the historical reality over the past century to have been, there is today no better guide than John Quigley's updated and revised version of his first edition. . . . This volume should be included on all academic reading lists dealing with the Israeli-Palestinian question. . . . Especially now, The Case for Palestine is worth the attention of US government officials engaged in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Quigley is to be commended for having compressed the work of a lifetime into this short, accessible, and copiously documented book." -- Antony T.

Spiramus Press Private International Law of Corporations
Book SynopsisThis book is about the theory of corporations as subjects of private international law. It aims to show the true extent and depth of legal and jurisdictional problems that states commonly face now, dealing with allocation of cross-border corporate relations and other relations closely connected with them in the appropriate system of law and jurisdiction.This work rests on the idea that in the united but diverse and contradictory world founded upon eternal laws, law should be characterized by the same qualities. The main end of private international law should be to support these qualities of the world and law bringing order to it.This book is a manual for jurists, practitioners of law and academics, who need research covering specific legal and jurisdictional issues in a corporate sphere and probes the issue of the place of private international law of corporations in national systems of law, when viewed through institutional, scientific, practical, strategic and economic dimensions.This book examines the issues concerned with allocation of cross-border corporate relations and other relations closely connected with them in the appropriate system of law and jurisdiction resting on the idea of distinct public policy with inherent public interest. It provides a careful study of institutional, scientific, practical, strategic and economic aspects of private international law of corporations as it was, is and ought to be. This is to show what was done, what we have at present and what needs to be done in this specific area in a manner suggesting a simple and concise reasoning within the confines of scientific, systematic and historical treatment of the issue in study.

De Gruyter Essential Cases on Misconduct
Book SynopsisThe various national European legal systems offer a broad range of responses to the question of what can be regarded as wrongful behaviour or fault. The present work systematically examines these two important prerequisites for tortious liability under the combined heading of ‘misconduct’. Unlike current textbooks, national casebooks and monographs, it builds on the experiences gathered in the national legal systems over the past decades and thereby fills a major gap which still exists today. It thus does what the previous volumes in the ‘Digest of European Tort Law’ series did for other key elements of tort law, namely natural causation and damage. Once again, the publication contains a selection of the most important cases from 28 states across Europe as well as cases handed down by European Union courts; it also highlights cases from earlier periods of legal history. For each case, the facts and the relevant court decision are presented and these are then accompanied by an analytical commentary. In addition, the editors provide comparative analyses of the cases reported and a special report is dedicated to how key decisions would be resolved under model European rules on tort law. The editors believe that the material gathered here may provide guidance for an organic convergence of the national legal systems in Europe. It constitutes the basis of an acquis commun that is infinitely richer (though also much more complex) than the rather bland and abstract concepts contained in national codifications, European legislation and modern model rules.

Springer International Publishing AG Accountability, Transparency and Democracy in the
Book SynopsisThis book investigates the strengths and weaknesses – in terms of transparency and compliance with the democratic principle – of Bretton Woods Institutions, considering the most important innovations from the original framework achieved through the introduction of independent accountability and complaint mechanisms (the Inspection Panel and Independent Evaluation Office), but also due to relevant reforms in the internal governance of the International Monetary Fund and the new financial assistance tools. One of its main focuses is on evaluating the socio-economic impact of conditionality in the countries requiring financial assistance, acknowledging the need to strengthen social protection policies in the adjustment programs. In addition, emphasis is given to the effects of the “constitutionalization” of the Washington Consensus in the European Union, with the establishment of the so-called “Berlin-Brussels-Frankfurt Consensus.”Table of ContentsPart I - The Governance and the Reforms in Progress.- Part II - The Constitutionalization of the “Washington Consensus” in the European Union.- Part III - Accountability and Independent Complaint Mechanisms.- Part IV - Conditionality and Socio Economic Impact.- Part V - The Impact of Bretton Woods Institutions on Civil Society.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG International Investment Law and EU Law
Book SynopsisThe entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty entails sweeping changes with respect to foreign investment regulation. Most prominently, the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) now contains in its Article 207 an explicit competence for the regulation of foreign direct investment as part of the Common Commercial Policy (CCP) chapter. With this new competence, the EU will become an important actor in the field of international investment politics and law. The new empowerment in the field of international investment law prompts a multitude of questions. This volume analyzes in depth the new “post-Lisbon situation” in the area of investment policy, provokes further discussion and offers new approaches.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“The book is interesting and deals with the main new legal issues of the Common Commercial Policy as amended by the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty and also with its consequences in regard to international investment law. It will prove essential reading for those interested in understanding this fundamental area of EU law.” (Riccardo Sciaudone, European Civil Law Observatory, eclo.eu, November, 2013)Table of ContentsS.
